And that's what happens when we post non-RC soaring stuff to the club group
:-)

You guys must have some RC stuff to post!

Read below first before looking at Video!!



The new F-35 is a vertical takeoff supersonic jet for the Navy  and the
Marines. I would say there's nothing about this incident the pilot  enjoys
other than the end result.

If he could have ejected at 100'  upside down and lived, he would have.

Looks like the afterburner kicks  in while still vectored for vertical
takeoff. DUH!

Lockheed would  call this a "software malfunction" and needs to do a little
more "regressive testing".

Good demo of power-to-weight ratio of  this aircraft! And some unbelievable
stability control.

If he didn't  come out of the loop wings-level, it probably would have been
bad news,  maybe taking some of the carrier with him!

Flying through your own  exhaust can lead to equipment malfunctions, too,
but fortunately he avoided  that.

This is the most unbelievable piece of flying you will ever see  in your
life.  This is how a supremely well-trained US Navy pilot with  ice water
running in his veins instead of blood, fully regains control of  his $70
million fighter
jet, after a problematic vertical take-off attempt  that would have killed
you or me.

At the top of the screen watch as the  rear vertical thruster fires to cause
the  problem.  

As an addendum to what is said above, I'll bet the pilot's first thoughts
after departing, straight and climbing, were, "I'll never do that again!!!"
